WHAT WE DO

Climb Above Addiction supports the work of The Plymouth House, a 12-step recovery retreat in NH and CADY (Communities for Alcohol-and Drug-Free Youth), a comprehensive substance abuse prevention program. We seek to raise awareness of the addiction epidemic and to Climb Above Addiction by helping to prevent addiction and increasing available resources for treatment and recovery.

The $10,000 raised from the 2nd Annual Climb Above Addiction event was used to invest in the youth of our community by contributing to CADY (Communities for Alcohol- and Drug-Free Youth). Their mission is to help our local youth make healthy and safe choices by working with schools, parents, youth and communities to prevent and reduce youth alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and to promote healthy environments and promising futures. Below is a video of Alex's Story, a young man that struggled with addiction and tells his story to schools around NH.
